Life in a Bungalo has posted a lengthy interview with newPennywise vocalist Zoli Teglas. In the interview, Teglas spoke about he joined the band:

"I was at my house in Budapest, Hungary and I was trying to call a friend of mine in Australia, and I accidentally called Fletcher. So I talked to him and he told me that they were having some problems and Jim was quitting the band. He told me that they were going to be looking for singers and I should come back to America. A couple months later I'm on stage with them."

Teglas also mentioned that the band is deep into the process of creating a new album:

"We have 15 tracks demoed and we just finished another today. At first we were going to try to put out an album and then go on tour, but we decided to go out on the road first. Touring helps me get molded a little more to their live show and the writing process."

When asked about the future of his other band, Ignite, Teglas had this to say:

"We're still going to do another album, but my focus right now is doing Pennywise. I don't want to let Ignite fans down either and a new record is due. When you are on the road you have 23 hours of doing nothing so it's a good time to write and focus on music. I'm going to be writing a lot."

Like it or not, Jim was Pennywise. Even if it didn't break down that way inside the band, it's going to be really difficult for people to accept the band with a different singer, even a great singer like Zoli.

Musically, Pennwise is considerably different than ignite. I think it's similar to Tool & A Perfect Circle. Vaguely in the same genre, but different enough to be distinguishing. Ignite's music is fancier than Pennywise's.I kinda always wished Pennywise would get a second guitarist and mix it up a bit. I guess that's what they were going to do with Randy before Jason died.

Did anyone else hear Fletcher being interviewed on the Jason Ellis show today on Sirius/XM? Fat Mike came into the inteview halfway through and Fletcher was ribbing Fat Mike about his marriage and Fat Mike was like "Change the subject, change the subject!".
What would TMZ say about Mike and Erin's marriage?

Woah Bro, new Pennywise and Ignite albums. Woh bro, I'm so bro'd up about this I'm just gonna bro down with my bro's and can't wait to bro it up to the new bro standards. It's gonna be a bro-fest bro. Bro out.
